New Zealand is named after the Dutch province of Zeeland, not the Danish island of Zealand, so I think the answer should be The Netherlands and not Denmark... unless I've misunderstood the quiz!

New Brunswick was actually named after Brunswick-Lüneburg in what is now Germany. albeit by a roundabout way in that George III of England was at the time Prince-elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg
